A few months ago, a new web site started up promoting the bring your own bag mentality at restaurants.I started bringing stainless steel straws and my own cutlery about three years ago, and maybe the thought of bringing my own take away containers flitted across my mind.And I probably thought, "once I start driving again, I'll do that."Three years later, I'm still walking, but finally remembering containers, on occasion.Until I ran across Take Out Without .The idea is to bring a container for leftovers or take out and make it as common as bringing a bag to the grocer's.Easy? Seems so. I'm good if I'm planning on going out or getting to the salad bar, but when I run late, I still wind up with a plastic 6 or styro container.Except now, each one I see reminds me to be prepared in the future.
